Mine runs warm, too, but not hot.

The Uptone Audio LPS-1.2 power supply for the EtherREGEN (ER), on the other hand, runs pretty damn hot, and now...mine will only power my Sonore OpticalModule at 7V, but not the ER at 9V. I'm attributing this to the LPS-1.2 is slowly dying from overheating, and at some point, will totally give up the ghost, as my older LPS-1.0 did last fall. Unfortunately, UpTone cannot repair these as they can't get the HP Altera FPGAs as HP has these Alteras on "indefinite hold". So....I have a feeling I'm going to have two dead UpTone LPS-series power supplies here pretty soon.
